LakeMr. Bryan shows up much stronger inthe notification than he will in the votefication.Which i-» (he better, an advance agentof prosperity or an advance agent ofprejudice and panic?If we understand Governor Roosevelt,he thinks the American army savors ofmilitarism about as much as a Bryandollar dops of honesty.President McKinley's letter of aeeeptauce may properly be said to be a messnge to the American people. Read it inThe Gazette supplement today.Do not, forget the pertinent questionof Senator Carter of Montana, whoauks "If the tariff is the mother oftrusts, what is the duty on ice?"Mr. Bryan thinks Indiana will reversei'selection results of 1896 and 1898.Mr. Bryan evidently believes that thepublic mind is as changeable as his views.The announcement that Mr. ;sryanwould dHiver but two speeches a day infuture was made by the democratic national committee without the consent ofMr. Bryan.Voting for Bryan on the theory that arepublican senate will prevent him putting his heresies into practice is not apractice that will appeal strongly to theintelligence of the country.Mr. Bryan has attempted a mild defense of his party in the ratification ofthe Paris treaty. His explanation is ona par with that offered for the failure ofall of his 1896 predictions.The most remarkable significance inMr. Aryan's letter of acceptance to thedemocrats, is his silence upon everythingaud every subject in which Americanworkingmeu as a class have an interest.Mr. Bryan's desire to give the Filipinosan independent government and thenprotect them from outside interferencewithout expeuse and without an armylooks a good deal like faith cure appliedto diplomacy.Already the census man has foundover 528,00(1 manufacturing establishments, as against 322,6% in 1890.This looks as though the trusts were notcrushing out individual enterprise at8 ich a great rate.A West Virginia business man, who isdescribed as being "as close as the barkon a tree," urges the election of Bryanbecause he can lend his money then atfrom 8 to 1G per cent aud will ouly haveto pay his labor 50 cents on the dollar.fictitious fears and Urn forebodingsconstitute the fusion stock in trade.The dt light of a fusionist in piping campaign times is to spout calamity as ithas been spouted by democracy for fortyold yeirs. If the people want calamitythey know where to find it.It will be noticed that James Hamilton I,ewiß, the ever hopeful claims Kingcounty for Bryan by 500 to 1000 majority and for the democratic state ticketby 100 to GOO majority, says the Spokane Chronicle. In other words he fig.uree that John X Rogers will be 400votes behind Bryan in King countyalone. In the entire state he placesBryan from 1000 to 3000 votes aheadof Rogers. It's rather rough on theman from Puyallup, but perhaps it's akindness for Lewis to warn him of theawful thrashing that's awaiting himNovember C.What Hhkoiu-kk DeservesColonel Bryan is the most unworthyaapirant and dangerous candidate forthe proriduncy of the Uuited Statesoffered by one uf the dominantparties within the memory of livingman, avers the Oregonian. We havehad candidates with mistaken views, wehave had men with dangerous policies.Hut we have never had a man whomperversion of truth wan so shameless,whose stock in trade consisted of appeals to daea prejudice, whose hopes ofsuccess hiv wholly in ministering to thebasest passions of human nature. It ispast comprehension how any man whovalues truth before falsehood and setslaw before anarchy can ally himself withthis most conscienceless of demagoguesand most pernicious of agitators.We printed the other day a letter thatshowed irrefutably that Bryan hm!taken a message of Abraham Lincoln's,written to rebuke the ownership of capital in human labor, and so perverted itas to make it appear to be an indorsement of Bryan's senseless ravingsagainst capital in its relations with freelabor. It was an act palpably and uumitigatedly dishonest, that should find,as it has found, no defenders, and thatshould forever debar Bryan from theconfidence and support of men of principle.Why did Bryan urge ratification ofthe peace treaty? For the purpose ofputting the republicans in a hole. It isthe act of a cheap politician, it is notthe act of a statesman.Bryan went about the country in 189Gpredicting all manner of catastrophes ifwe kept the gold standard. If he knewbetter, he is a knave. If he didn't knowbetter, he is a fool.He talks silver at the west, anti-imperialism at the east, anii trusts at thesouth. He ib for anything that will getvotes.He wants us to return to the simpledignity of the fathers, yet he scurriesabout the country to receive superfluousnominations, and spouts his speeches into a phonograph.He denounces autocratic rule, yet heis himself the most dictatorial of livincrpoliticians.He holds up Washington and Lincolnas examples, and yet he has done nothing for four years but pursue with unblushing and unwearied ambition thedemocratic nomination for president.Now, a man may be a cheap politicianand an arrant demagogue and still besound at heart. But the baseness ofBryan's purpose is clearly apparentfrom the nature of his appeal.If a man is contented, Bryan will dohis best to make him discontented. If aman defies the law with riot, Bryan patshim on the back. If a man is poor,Bryan tells him the government is toblame, Bryan encourages him to calldown imprecations on the rich.Here is a man who goes about thecountry stirring up the poor against therich, the hroken against the successful,the idle against the busy, the laboreragainst the employer, the rioter againstthe courts, the propertyless againstproperty, the disorderly against order,the lawless against law.Every man that is enraged at the existing order; every man that is enviousof his neighbor's progress; every manthat blames society for his own incompetence: every man that feels like taking the law into his own hands to redress his grievances against capital:every socialist, communist, anarchistand rioter; every enemy of progress andprosperity; every croaking raven ofcalamity: every apostle of discontent;every prophet of despair, recognizes afriend in Bryan, and recognizes truly,because his whole appeal, overt or covert, is addressed to these basest elements and most dangerous foes of ourcivilization.Such a man is out of place in theUnited States. Such a man is at variance with American ideals of liberty andlaw, individual enterprise and responsibility. He is the enemy of the doctrineof fair play, which insures to each thefruits of his labor. He offers us despairfor hope, discontent for determination,bitterness for ambition, despondency forcourage. Such a man is dangerous, notonly and not so grievously because heperverts history, palms off humbug asphilosophy and menaces business andorder, but because he seeks to poison atits very source the fountain of our national life. He seeks to substitute for avirile self-reliance, obedience to law andresolution to press forward, a spirit ofanarchistic rage and bitter complaintthat belongs only in the decadent civilizations of the old world.The difference between Bryan and nilhis predecessors is not one of degree, butof kind. We have never had a man befare who sought to build himself up onthe ruin* of prosperity, and not onlythat, but on the wreck of individualcourage and manly endeavor. The answer of our sterling young Americanmanhood to this base appeal should bedecisive and overwhelming.The promptness with which Mr. Bryan !seiz-s upon the coal miners' strike as |something out of which political capital may be made for himself, as shownin the report of his speech at Culumbuson Friday, justifies the assertion of east-818 journals that the strike has beenfomented by Bryanite emissaries in thehope that somehow it may favorablyaffect his interests. It is noticeable thatnobody has charged any republican withCOLFAX GAZETTE, COLFAX, WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 21, 1900.being engaged in such work. Indeed,democratic papers have representedMark Hanna as having been laboriouslyendeavoring to influence the mine owners to make concessions to their men, ornt least to consent to arbitration, witha view of preventing the strike. TheSpringfield Republican credits Mr. Hannawith such benevolent efforts; and, de| spite the fact that it supports Bryan,has the magnanimity to regret that! those efforts failed. Which attitude willmost comment) itself to American voters—that of the men who fomen strikesi with u!l their accompanjing miseries tolaboring men, losses to capital and inconvenience to the people at large, or' that of statesmen who address themselves to quieting differences and promoting arbitration?Louis Viereck.a bright German oratorwho is to stump Minnesota, the Dakotas and lowa for the republican ticket,very aptly characterizes Bryan as a"modern Vallandighatn."' The principaldifference between Bryan and his prototype is that Bryan's championship ofthe Filipino rebellion has probably costthe lives of more American soldiers thandid VaJlandigharn'R treasonable effortsin the ooilh, in behalf of the southernconfederacy. The biographies of the twomen will show this variance also: Thatwhile Vallandighain was arrested byorder of President Lincoln and sent intothe rebel lines, where he belonged, Bryanhas not been sent to the Filipino camp,where he belongs.St. John, Wash., Sept. 24—EditorGazette: Through the columns of yourpaper please inform an interested voterwhether or no Mr. Westacott, candidatefor state senator in the Sixth district, isthe gentleman of that name who is reported to have left the republican partyin 1896 on the silver issue.
